Wednesday, July 13: West Seattle


Wednesday is a low tide day in Seattle, so we are heading to West Seattle to the beach.  The lowest tide will actually be around 10:00 am, but we won't be able to head out there until after swimming - so we'll likely be there at noon.

First stop:  Just south of Alki Point (approx 3540 Beach Drive SW) there is a great area for looking for sea stars and other creatures.  We may not see much as the tide will be coming back in, but we'll give it a shot.  It works best to have rain boots or good sandals for this beach - it's rocky and a bit slick.

Second stop:  lunch - not sure if we'll try to get some food at Duke's Chowder House or just pack a lunch.  We'll see how the morning goes.  But either way, we'll then hang out at the beach across the street from Duke's.

We may also rent a family bike thing - last time we were on Alki the kids really wanted to do it, but we ran out of time.  We'll see how things go...
here's the website for that:

Let me know if you'll be joining us.  We'll be going over there rain or shine!
